Today's weather was clear. Middlesbrough's weather was perfect for a football game.
Today Aston Villa played as a visitor against Middlesbrough at its Stadium in Riverside Stadium. The Riverside Stadium, this stadium was a top-notch UEFA Stadium, one of the best stadiums in the Premier League.
The Middlesbrough team in recent years has had an achievement that anyone would consider impossible for a small club. All this was achieved under the fantastic leadership of Steve Gibson.
Gibson is a lifelong Middlesbrough fan, as he attended games with Chris Kamara at Ayresome Park when he was young. He joined the board as the youngest director of the club at the age of 26, while Willie Maddren was a manager. He helped save the club from liquidation by forming a consortium in 1986. In 1993, he bought Scottish & Newcastle shares in the club, and succeeded Colin Henderson as president of the club in 1994, owning approximately 90% of the club.
Gibson saw the club leave Ayresome Park in 1995 towards Riverside Stadium, a completely new stadium for everyone. He also made money available for the purchase of renowned players. The appointment of Steve de Bryan Robson as manager in May 1994 helped raise the profile of the club and achieve three final appearances in the Wembley Cup in 12 months during 1997 and 1998. As a result of the continuous investment in support of Robson's successor, Steve McClaren, in 2004 the club was able to win its first trophy in 128 years, the English League Cup. In 2004, Gibson received Middlesbrough Freedom after the club won the English League Cup. Gibson is considered a hero in the city of Middlesbrough for his contribution to the city's only professional club.
The game attracted more than 30,000 spectators at the stadium, Sky TV broadcast the game exclusively, and the game's presenters are Mowbray and Wilson.
Wilson watched the audience's enthusiasm from the broadcasting room: "With the referee's whistle, the game started. This game is not a league game anymore, Aston Villa is eager to win, the descent is being played in every game that But the focus of the game is for his new coach Alexander coates this young man of only 25 years, becoming the replacement of the former Aston Villa coach David O'Leary He became the new leader of Aston Villa, becoming coach youngest in the history of the Premier League. Now I will present the main lineup, Middlesbrough adopted a 4-4-2 lineup. In the Mark Schwarzer goal, the 4 below are Gareth Southgate, Emanuel Pogatetz, Stuart Parnaby, Andrew Taylor. the middle of the field will be, s Gaizka Mendieta, Stewart Downing, Doriva, Lee Cattermole and in the front will be one of the best teams in the league this season, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink and Mark Viduka. Aston Vi Lla has many modifications and new faces in the main lineup will play with a 3-3-3-1 lineup. In the goal Thomas Sørensen, in the bottom line will be Aaron Hughes, Olof Mellberg and Gary Cahill who have just played 3 games this season. In the midfield, there will be Gavin McCann, Gareth Barry and James Milner, indoor youth will be Gabriel Agbonlahor and Theo Walcott. There is a surprising fact about Theo Walcott, he is only 16 years old and 312 days old, he will become the second youngest player to debut at the premiere, this young man is considered one of the most promising players that England has given in the last decade, we continue with the line-up, Juan Pablo Angel will be half-pointed and only Milan Baros forward".
Wilson is talking about the situation of the two teams. Mowbray suddenly asked: "Wilson, who is Theo Walcott?"
"He is a new star of the Aston Villa youth team, he was brought to Aston Villa by his now coach Alexander Coates." Wilson
Mowbray, I look at Wilson. "I wonder if Alexander Coates is using his identity as the son of one of the club's shareholders, to bring players."
Wilson, I look at Mowbray surprised, Wilson was not only a sports commentator, he was also a fan of Aston Villa and he knew a lot about the current Aston Villa youth team said: "Alexander coates in the youth leagues is known for his good eye in choosing talents Theo Walcott last season in the youth championship scored 24 goals becoming the best player in the youth team and second top scorer in the competition.He is considered by many coaches one of the youth who will possibly wear the England shirt.
This phrase made Mowbray no longer ask about Theo Walcott.
At this point, the game has been played for five minutes.
In these five minutes, Alexander sat in the coach's seat and observed the situation on the court. The entire stadium was surprised by the current results of the match.
This is only five minutes after the opening, Aston Villa had made 4 archery shots leading the initiative in the game, although they were still 0-0. The rival team had not caused any danger.
Although none of these shots managed to enter the rival goal, Steve McClaren could not sit still any longer. He left the technical area and began to order his players. "Aston Villa steals the ball. Throw the ball forward, press the opponent's midfield. "
At this moment, he turned and looked at the visiting team's seat not far away, and saw Alexander resting in the seat very quietly, watching everything in the field.
Steve McClaren's heart was surprised and he muttered to himself: "This boy doesn't seem like a rookie."
